I tell thee what ESM.  If chunky can't adapt his style for England and continues to be a huge fucking waste of space wearing the three lions then he can fuck off.  I've never seen him get Man of the Match for England.  FACT.

So?

I don't fucking care if he plays well for England, seems that the Gerrard/Lampard penny has finally dropped with McClown anyway, much good it did mind.

He's still the best at what he does, but he isn't an Elano and shouldn't be compared. I'd have him at City.

Blasphemy.

*shakes head in disbelief*

If you've a midfield two a Lampard and a Makelele type player, its pretty much ideal for the PL IMO.

As they proved.

People say the Lampard is a luxury player that gets forward too much. He plays a long side Essien, J Cole and SWP nearly every week and they're not backwards in going forwards either ffs.

I wholeheartedly disagree.  I'd rather have Lampard/ Makelele.

2 goals from the 6 they put past us on Saturday need further detail to your theory.

So, you'd play him and Elano?

You know, it's clear to me that anyone who rates Frank 'because he score goals' lacks insight and hasn't really thought out what contibution it is he really should be making to the team. Assembling a football team isn't quite so simple as picking or buying the best goalscoring 11 for their respective positions. I'd expect a child to make that assumption. You play Frank and Elano together (which I assume you are eluding to by your last statement) and you give yourself a similar - but not identical - problem to what you have with England. You certainly can't get the best out of both, and most likely will end up getting the best out of neither. Thus they should be compared, just as Gerrard and Lampard are compared, because there really is only room for one. Now, who would you choose?

Why not in the right formation? As I said to Bastard, Lampard plays along side Essien, Cole and SwP, all three attacking midfielders.

Truly? Is that as a combination or as individuals? I'm stunned if the latter.

Anyone who would prefer a Lampard to an Elano doesn't deserve the Elano we have.

I think you may have read too much into ESM's post BU.

And anyway, you probably could play them both in the same team if you payed Elano in a 4-4-2.
